Right off the main highway and across from the Police Station! Old but quaint. Bring your own Kleenex's. No room issues at all. Needed the AC and Heat both during this trip and they worked perfectly. Shower had some discoloration on some of the tiles in one corner. Shower pressure was great. I'll stay here again.

The entire place was absolutely great with one exception. The king size bed was the wort bed I have ever slept in. It was not comfortable at all. Other than that it was excellent. Room was clean, staff was wonderful and accommodating. With that being said. I can overlook the uncomfortable bed.

Perfect if you’re not looking for something fancy. It’s right in the middle of Canyon, TX. A bit noisy but close to everything. The staff were great. I would happily stay here again.

The only reson that I stayed here was because of its location. It was not a completely bad experience for $69/night, I am just not an Inn/motel kind of person. I will not be back, owners were sweet though.

We attempted check-in 1 hour, 24 minutes early--in town for a funeral. We were told we would be charged $15 extra. I commented there were only 2 vehicles in the entire lot, 1 of which was the managers, that nobody was present, they were not busy. We were told the $15 would still apply. We left & checked in much later. Previous reviews stated this was a locally owned business, & that it was good to support them. I agree--however, this is NOT a locally owned business, the motel employees confirmed. Rooms are VERY BASIC, NO frills, with a TV system VERY difficult to navigate. We were afraid to walk around in the room without slippers, refused to use the shower. This place is NOT worth the seemingly discounted price. WHY it has the high ranking we do NOT understand. Opt for a place you feel SAFE and cared for in. If you're looking for a CHEAP place to stay--and want CHEAP accommodations--this place is perfect. But seriously, a $15 extra fee for checking in 1 hr, 24 min early for a funeral?!?! Recommendation to travelers: Stay elsewhere.

Great price, convenient location for us.
Overall good, one day they forgot to refill the coffee & cups for morning, went to get ice and the ice maker was empty and unplugged. 1 pillowcase out of 4 had yucky stain on it and a strand of Long hair on it first night we checked in, so borrowed a pillowcase from our kids that live in Canyon to get us by, until I could talk to cleaning staff for different pillowcase, they brought a different pillow after I talked to him.

The floors in the room and bathroom had not been swept or mopped from previous stays. The bath tub was dirty; wouldn't set foot in it. I stayed 3 nights unfortunately, I would have left if I could have gotten a refund. The TV set up was difficult to operate and no instructions were in the room on how to use the system.

This property was a real value. Recently remodeled and very nice. There wasn't a typical cable TV system or at least I couldn't figure it out. I recommend this property but ask the folks in the office for information on TV operation if that is important to you.

If you're in the room next to the street, it's not quiet; otherwise it is. Price was better than other places in town. Right across from the police department; safe part of town. Internet was a bit iffy with their Video-On-Demand (which was awesome - Netflix, Hulu, etc), and closed captions were a pain. Their tv-tuning mechanism was also a bit painful. They had a microwave, small fridge, but no ice-maker. Big walk-in shower. Beds were comfortable. Trim-work a bit sub-par, but that's just cosmetic. Clean. comfortable, great value. My wife is already making plans to re-visit again; I just heard her on the phone inviting her sister, "We should go again and y'all should come with us; the rooms are cheap and cute...", and then she changed topics, so I don't know where exactly she was going with her story. They have a neat semi-enclosed porch area that's nice to sit in in nice weather; the manager, who was good-spirited and helpful, offered to tune in the Dallas Cowboys game on the TV in that porch, but it was cool enough that our group retired to our rooms instead to watch the game. The road next to the motel is a main road through town, a 1-minute drive to United Supermarkets and Sonic and McD's and Subway, etc. If you're rolling in money, you're going to want the big-bucks hotels; but if you're simple middle-class folks and don't expect big-bucks amenities, I think you'll be content with this choice. I'm confident we'll revisit.

My stay was during the university’s homecoming. It was a nostalgia thing. Having said that, I found the facility clean and functional. It was pleasant and what I expected for the price. The staff was friendly and helpful.

We had a great stay at this property, which we used as a convenient home base for our visit to the Palo Duro Canyon. The room wasn’t fancy, but the bed was comfortable, the WiFi worked, and the shower was hot, which is pretty much all we need! We would definitely stay here again.

The TV did nt work at first. Then when it did, it ws too hard to maipulate. I'm not a dummy but it was not easy. When I called about it after I was out, the person answering the phone seemed to chastise me for not being there when she came to check on the TV. She finally got it to work. No ice machine.

The room was great, very clean, refrigerator, microwave, window shade that covered the whole window. No bathtub but I was fine with it and prefer a shower. Never saw an employee only spoke through Ring camera and collected my room key that was left out for me. Turned key in next morning early since we were heading to Palo Duro Canyon to hike before it got to hot. Really enjoyed the stay and will return hopefully.
